Review and SOTD - Bond No 9 Liberty Island

🔥

Today I decided to wear a sample I’ve had for quite some time. Weather was cool and windy, hitting low 60s today so I wanted something for warmer weather.

🗽Liberty Island launched in 2016. It’s a fresh gourmand inspired by New York’s Liberty Island and the Statue of Freedom. It's positioned as a lively summer scent.

In the top there’s mandarin orange, bergamot, and black currant for a citrusy opening. In the heart orange blossom and jasmine. The base holds marshmallow and musk for a soft, sweet, clean dry down.

Performance was mid at 4-5 hours overall. I noticed 2 hours of projection, settling into a skin scent for the remainder of my wear.

Overall it’s a fresh citrus, evolving into a sweet, creamy orange blossom that's gourmand leaning thanks to the marshmallow note, finished with clean musk. I’d describe it as a soft, dessert-ish scent like melting marshmallow. Think D&G Light Blue 2025 with marshmallows.

This would be good for warm weather/summer wear. It’s well blended; versatile, unisex leaning feminine. If you like sweet, fresh gourmands this is a solid pick for daytime or casual wear in heat. Easy blind buy if you're into that profile, but sample first if you're sensitive to sweetness or prefer a more masculine profile.
